It's a subnet about 4 hops away, routed through a core. subnet-zero
is enabled in our environment, and 10.51.55.0 is seen as a host on
the network.

Note that if I try any other .0's around, I don't get the problem.
Only this one .0. Also, I've tested a kernel change to no avail.

kern.ipc.nmbclusters=32768

Any more words of wisdom are appreciated.
